Comments Thread For: Stevenson: Cleverly Who? Kovalev Still Needs a Big Win

[Chrismart]

I'd love to see Cloud beat Stevenson.

[MASTER1454]

In the rematch... Boone held him to a Split Decision in the first fight (which, to me, means he unofficially beat Kovalev because journeymen don't get split decisions against undefeated prospects unless they've actually won) and this is fighting as a Lt. Heavyweight when he can probably make Middleweight (but because he's a journeyman, he takes on everyone that pays him decent money).

I don't agree with Adonis' stance though. Kovalev has beaten 2 top 10 Lt. Heavyweights so he shouldn't have to fight another to deserve a shot at the lineal title. Kovalev is a good fighter, but if he makes the mistake of fighting Hopkins, he would lose.

No such thing as unofficially in boxing - is there an asterisk next to the 1st fight. And held him to a SD, in his hometown, so that's why Boone won? Doesn't make sense whatsoever.....

Does it make me a bad person if I hope that Kovalev does to Stevenson what Benn did to McClellan?

Yeah, that makes you a real douche of the decade - not even necessary......

Wow 1 left field over the top punch and now Stevenson is a big time talent? Lol please. He is very limited. I doubt he even gets by Cloud. Kovalev is the truth, he is the Destructor. He is coming to lay all heads to bed at 175.

This situation is same kinda situation with GGG. Everybody tells that he has no names in his resume but no one wants to fight him.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha





duck.







hahahahahaha


Please tell us Adonis, what big name is there for him to fight that'll earn him a shot with you?

Stevenson is spot on with those Cleverly comments. Sick of fighters coasting through without fighting anyone good first. Worse thing was when Cleverly said he was going to retire. What kind of fighter is that? a real fighter would learn from the loss and get better.

Kovalev and GGG are more likely bums in waiting, big punchers who just plough through scared opponents who don't fight back (I remember Macklin against GGG) and then as soon as they get into a real fight have no experience of what to do. Mayweather can't rely on a big punch, that guy has massive experience, a huge number of rounds under his belt. People think big punchers are better than they are because of all the fan-boys bleating on about them. An example? Matthysse Vs Garcia. Someone got exposed...

You mean like Stevenson himself who fought no one before Dawson???
